56 Passenger Charter Bus

Our fleet includes industry-leading models such as the MCI J4500, MCI D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45—all of which are widely recognized for their durability, ride quality, and passenger amenities. Each of these coaches offers similar seating capacity and luggage space, but there are minor differences in interior layout and feature set depending on the exact model year and configuration. If you have a specific brand preference or need a bus that matches another vehicle in your fleet, let us know when booking. We’re happy to accommodate requests for matching sets, ADA-accessible units, or specific floor plans if available.

We have 56-passenger buses available in standard colors like black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and yellow, plus custom wrap options if you want to add company logos, school colors, or advertising graphics. Most charter buses come in either white or black because they’re the easiest to maintain and look professional for any type of event. If you need something specific—like a color that matches your team or organization—we can usually accommodate that request as long as we have enough lead time. Full vinyl wraps are also available for an additional fee if you want to completely brand the bus for a special event or campaign.

Standard amenities include reclining seats with armrests and footrests, individual reading lights, power outlets or USB ports at each row, free WiFi, multiple flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, PA system, and a rear restroom with toilet and sink. Additional features include overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, tinted windows, window shades, climate control, and a sound system with AM/FM radio and Bluetooth. If you need 110V outlets, HDMI inputs, or tray tables, please request them when booking.

Rates for a 56-passenger charter bus start at $180–$500+ per hour, $1,800–$3,800 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile, depending on the exact itinerary, time of year, and current demand. The quote always includes driver pay and standard gratuity but does not cover tolls, parking fees at venues, or hotel rooms for the driver on overnight trips—those will be billed separately at cost. Final pricing is based on total hours or miles from the time the bus leaves the yard until it returns, so please provide a detailed schedule when requesting a quote. To get exact pricing for your trip, call our office 24/7 or use the online tool to enter your pickup location, destination, and dates. We’ll respond quickly with a firm quote and can hold the reservation once you’re ready to proceed.

This is the largest and most fully-equipped option we offer, providing more seating, storage, and onboard amenities than any of our smaller minibuses or mid-size coaches. While smaller buses (like 25- or 35-passenger models) are easier to maneuver in tight urban areas and may be less expensive for short trips, they lack the full range of features and luggage capacity found on a 56-passenger coach. If you need to move a very large group or require maximum comfort for a long-distance journey, this is the best choice. For smaller groups or shorter routes, we have a full range of options available at different sizes and price points.

It’s best to book a 56-passenger charter bus at least 3–6 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak season or coincides with major local events that can impact availability. In Connecticut, spring and summer are busy times due to graduations, weddings, and corporate outings, while fall sees increased demand for sports team travel and school field trips. Large-scale events like the Hartford Marathon, New Haven’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, or statewide high school playoff games can quickly deplete inventory across multiple cities. If you’re planning a multi-day trip, traveling out of state, or require multiple vehicles, securing your reservation early ensures the best selection and pricing. Last-minute bookings are possible if there’s availability, but options may be limited and rates could be higher.
